I've been collecting for over 10 years and I've come to realise, after trying a plethora of watches, that I prefer simple over complicated.

I am quite happy with the state of my current collection. the 2 watches in each category are similar yet different enough to justify keeping both.

(Divers) Tudor vs Halios: Mat blue dial, classic historical design and aluminum bezel vs glossy black dial, modern design and fully lumed sapphire bezel.

(Dress) Grand Seiko vs Nomos: Cream dial, center second, a bit thicker for a more casual wear and incredible polish all around vs silver dial, small second, gold indices and blued hands and very thin.

(Sports) Sinn vs Omega: Lacquer black dial, black and white painted indices and a more toolish military look vs Sunburst blue dial, applied highly polished indices and a more refined case.

I have no problem giving wrist time to each watch during the week, which is usually a good sign!
